Question

In my application i have a access database with a list of customers, this database is imported in my project. A combobox datasource is set to display all the customers.

I also created a form so the user can change some settings and locations of certain files. for this i use the this.properties.settings.KlantenDB() the string is created and will save the path to the customer database.

How can i change the current Access database connection string so it will use the KlantenDB path?

Answer 1

Call

AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetData("DataDirectory", path);

and provide the full path to the data files.

The KlantenConnectionString should provide the full connection string. That |DataDirectory| part of the connection string will be replaced with the value you set using the above call to SetData.

In your case, the following call should work

AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetData("DataDirectory", "C:");
